"Somebody's Leaving" Lyrics

Daddy's packed his suitcase
Mama locked the door
Daddy screams for silence
Can't take it no more.
And me I'm in my bedroom
Ear pressed to the floor
Listening to the footsteps
Heading out the door

CHORUS
Somebody's leaving, somebody stays
Someone gets broken when love moves away.
Somebody's leaving, somebody prays
That someone will come back for someone someday.

If only I'd been better, if I'd just made them laugh
Been an "A" student, not played my music so loud
Maybe he'd stay and they'd make it last
I want them to fix it but Daddy's walking too fast.

REPEAT CHORUS
